The second you had walked into the house, your mother rushed up to you with eyes of gleam. You could already tell what she was going to say, and you beat her to it. "Mother, now is not the time." Her lips shut on their own and she slowly backed off. "I just want some rest, alright?" You tried to give her a soft smile before going up towards your bedroom.

You couldn't believe yourself.

Not only did you end up failing at the process of escape, you ended up hurting yourself.

You wished you hadn't attended the birthday party. If it had been any other place you would have been more than excited to attend for your sister and to make her day special. But why was it the Kim's residence of all places?
But now that your mother knows you're the mate of the Kim's family son, she just couldn't let it go.

Is the money and fame all she cared about? Did she even spare a second to think about how you were feeling? She wouldn't even question if you were okay with all of this...

Was this her aim from the beginning? Did she bet that if you or even your sister ended up being his mate, she'd still get the inheritance? To her, it doesn't even matter if you two loved each other. As long as there was a thing as having mates.

You just couldn't believe your mother, the way she acted was childish.

Shutting your bedroom door all the way, you locked it and plopped yourself into the comforts of your bed after changing into a pair of clothes. The dress you had worn was torn and now carried a dirty brown. Sighing deeply in frustration your mind wandered back to the event earlier.

Earlier 

Your head snapped forward as you start to draw blood from your lips. Why was he chasing you? Did it really that much that you were his mate?

You start beating around trees, going under branches making a left. With your scent being carried you had no chance of losing Taehyung. Especially when his high sense of smell from all that training he's done of becoming the Alpha was taken place.

You, a girl just trying to live life by going to school, had slim to no training at all to develop the skills that a normal wolf would have.

You just wanted to be normal.

That's why you always avoided these events. So you wouldn't be interacting with the people that you hate the most.

You look around, turning again before getting a strong whiff of Taehyung.

He was already caught up to you. You didn't even know why you tried running if you were going to get caught in the end.

You face forward as you gulp. You didn't want to get caught.

Your paw gets caught under a branch, pulling you down into the dirt as you flip over a couple times. You groan as the side effect takes place and the pain starts to coarse over your entire body.

You tried getting up, before feeling your legs fail under you.

You start to whimper and you couldn't help but remember. This was really happening.

Your heartbeat was only racing faster and faster with each passing second. You started to panic and the anxiety wasn't making anything better. You were going to get caught.

You were the one with a sprained ankle. When you return to your human form, you would still be injured. 
Your attempt for escape only came down to you hurting yourself.

In the corner of your eyes however, black paws emerged from the bushes. You weren't going anywhere now.

──

Your eyes flash open as you sigh, head pounding as your adrenaline was slowly coming to a halt and the pain in your ankle was slowly getting back to you. 

"Y/n!  Someone came here for you!" You growled in complete anger, smelling the air in scent of him.

Just what did he want now!? Bolting from your bed, you stormed angrily downstairs to where he was. Didn't he know the meaning of space?! Didn't anyone now days know what that meant? Although all you felt was pain in your foot for every step you took, your anger could only raise.

"Why can't you just leave me alone! You've already caused so much so many problems!" You screamed, your fingernails digging deep into your palms. 

Just what was his objective in doing all of this?
Just what did he want with you? Your mother and sister had their eyes widened before they decided to walk away and leave you two to your quarrels.

Your lips lower and start to quiver, eyes pulling back as tears start to flow down. But when seeing the male before you, you couldn't help but become more than just guilty. Why did he have to look so sad?

His arms caught your wrist, pulling you towards him and his other hand reaching under your chin and through your hair. Before gently tucking it behind your ear.

His face was so close and yet you didn't even have an ounce of energy to be fighting back.

His deep and husky voice ringing into your ear which brought shivers climbing up your back.

"I'm sorry... Are you okay?"

You weren't okay... You never were.
